Embracing Nature's Embrace: A Circular Sanctuary in the Cinnamon Hills
Architectural Inspiration: A Circular Sanctuary Amidst Cinnamon Plantations
The fundamental layout of the bungalow was directly influenced by its distinctive setting. Situated on the highest point of a sprawling 12-acre cinnamon estate, which rises like an island amidst the flat paddy fields below, the property commanded breathtaking 360-degree vistas. This extraordinary panorama was a primary consideration for the design. The concept was to create a circular dwelling that felt like an integral part of a "forest clearing," naturally melding with the abundant vegetation.
Seamless Integration with the Landscape: Blending Inner and Outer Edges
The design philosophy focused on clearly defining the interior circular boundary of the structure, while deliberately allowing the exterior perimeter to appear irregular and fractured. This approach enabled the building to organically merge with the surrounding natural environment, fostering a seamless transition between the cultivated space and the untouched landscape.
